I was called to design a basement in Florida—quite an unusual request given the rarity of basements in the region. The project was for a beautiful couple expecting their first child, and they envisioned a cozy, comfortable lounge room that could also accommodate some adult fun.


The Lounge: Coastal Comfort

For the lounge area, I was inspired by a stunning beach-style hat lighting piece. Given the home's proximity to the ocean, I thought this element would resonate well, especially with the wife. It became the focal point around which I designed a coastal, cozy room—a perfect haven forsnuggling with their newborn, enjoying great movies on a big screen, and hosting friends on a comfy sofa.

The Bar: A Touch of Rustic Elegance

Then I showed them this gorgeous champagne-colored wood cabinetry that perfectly balanced rustic charm and classic sophistication. They loved it, We preseeded to customize their bar to exactly how they wanted it. This centerpiece set the tone for the entire design, blending both elegance and a touch of laid-back style.

 


A Space for Growth and Enjoyment

The result is a versatile space that combines comfort and functionality, offering a relaxing environment for family time and a stylish setting for entertaining. This traveling family now has a beautiful, cozy basement to grow in and create wonderful memories.
